When I go on trips and don't want to pack the 3DS or the Switch, I grab my trusty Cobalt Blue DS Lite with a DS and a GBA game slotted and ready to go! Probably charge it about once a year!

@Luigia
Man, it's been on the wishlist as long as I can remember! Almost picked it up over Christmas, but there some crazy good sales and new download-only titles that pushed it out. I've been psyched since it was announced. SEGA!

I wonder if any of the licensed coming up will be here, like HE-MAN and the MARVEL MAXIMUM COLLECTION.......

JAWS: RETRO EDITION. Hands down.

@NeonPizza
Its completely for physical preservation for me. CONTRA ANNIVERSARY, CASTLEVANIA ADVANCE COLLECTION, TUROK, and JAWS are so far the ones I have double-dipped on. If a digital copy drops to $5 and I already have it physical, I will sometimes get it just to have the convenience of digital. But MARVEL MAXIMUM, I will probably double dip on. I ALMOST did with the CASTLEVANIA DOMINOUS COLLECTION and the JURASSIC PARK COLLECTION from LRG, but I held out and waited for my physical copies to arrive.

YES!!!!!! Please confirm a physical release (so I can double-dip) It's the year of MOTU!!!!

@johnedwin
I would be happy with a locked 40 with VRR.

I was hoping for a consistent frame rate. Guess I will see. Still would love to see the RE 2, 3, & 4 remakes on here.

Have been wishing for something like this for quite awhile. The only games really missing are the 90s SEGA titles. Would love to see a CAPCOM X MARVEL Collection as well with their SNES games. A Konami/SUNSOFT DC collection would be aces, too.

The game that keeps on giving! This is one of those titles that never leaves my system. Guess it's time to jump in again!

Freaking 50/50!!!! This was a hard one. I always love the Japanese art on these, but the gold box art was synonymous with Zelda until the mid-2000s. I ultimately voted for the Japanese design, but am glad that it's evenly split at the moment.

I finally picked it up last month on a physical sale ($48.00 USD) because I was tired ow waiting for the S2 patch. Only being about 12 hours in, I am glad I can download the patch this weekend and get back to it as I hoped I would eventually be able to. Never finished the WiiU release, so I am pretty excited!

@rjejr
Understand about the Rabbids comparison, lol. Steve Carrell is awesome in it and it's got some great humor. If you have kids (especially girls) you should give it a try.

Got my cardboard VB yesterday. I'm actually surprised by the build quality. Very sturdy. Played RED ALARM and WARIOLAND so far. I imagine the "red filter" included with the replica model makes it that much more authentic, and I miss it. I remember playing the system at launch and a buddy of mine has two of them that he pulls out on occasion. Wish there was a way to simulate this. Nintendo needs to add a 2D single screen option down the line. The 3D effect is not super pronounced, but no headaches for me which is a surprise. Also, the rubber on the $100.00 USD model probably helps with the light filtering in. My glasses fit nicely, though, into the cardboard model, which is definitely a plus.

A manual jump button! That's the stuff! I wish these games just had thr PoP: SoT series control scheme. Since it seems we will not be getting any 3D PoP in the near future. Almost bought this on sale this weekend, but JAWS: RETRO EDITION and ABSOLUM were calling, lol. Once it hits $30.00 USD I will probably take the plunge as it looks like a fun world to mess around in. I love the GHOST games on PS, so it would be cool to have a fuedal Japanese open-world on my S2.

@rjejr
The original DESPICABLE ME is pretty great.

@CRASH64
I still have my copy. I always thought a Wii version would have been perfect as the pointer could be used for investigating and the combat sections that used the Konami Enforcer if you owned it. Honestly, I will take anything at this point. I have it on the TBGFX16/PC Engine Mini, but it's only in Japanese 😞.

I still have my GBC copy of this. This and Bionic Commando were the two best GBC-specific titles I owned. Excited to see this on the collection. Have been waiting a long time to play MGS 4 as I had a Wii and 360 during that era. Wish MGS Rising: Revengeance was on here as well as that would make it much more of a "collection," lol.

Glad I picked up the Physical Edition. Was playing JP2 on GameBoy yesterday. That game does not have any right being as good as it is is! Probably the best classic JP game next to the Sega CD version (which both it AND the 3DO should have been included in this collection...).

Hurry up Suda and work with Capcom on releasing KILLER 7!!!

I really hope we can get more recent / same-day titles at least for the next couple of years. I have played the demo around 8 or 9 times now. The simplicity of the controls and promise of layered abilities / multiple hack modifiers has me very intrigued. It has the possibility of keeping hacking fresh and strategic throughout the campaign. The combat / exploration loop is right up my alley. With RE9, Indy, 007, and this, my plate is looking mighty full.

I pre-ordered the physical edition. Supposed to ship between April and May. Might double-dip if the price is right.

@SykoMuffin
Agreed. NSMBU was not the Mario title I wanted at the WiiU's launch. The art style and lack of imagination is dull as heck. But the moment to moment platforming is great. And that last Bowser fight sits rent-free in my head. NSMBU is nowhere near the heights of other Mario titles, but it's a better game than Wonder, if even just by a hair.

I've rolled the demo four or five times now. The gameplay is pretty solid. This game has been an enigma since it was first announced, bat dang if the polish isn't there im spades. Will get this on sale as I want it on S2 over PS5 and do not typically pay full price for download-only titles.

@coolioam
Wonder is the most overrated Mario game IMO. I pre-orderd it and was left wanting so much more. I love the new art style and the wonder-sections are neat, but the course design and platforming do not impress. I've tried going back to it several times thinking I'm missing something and still feel the same way. Out of the two mascot-platformers released that Fall, SONIC SUPERSTARS was the better game.

@AnonyQ
NSMBU is a much better 2D Mario game. The new art style is aces, but the level design, bosses, and progression was overall fairly weak. It's a 7, simple as that.

I want a new set of courses to explore. Ones that are actually fun to play. Unlike 70% of the main campaign.

This was my highlight from the Direct. After reading interviews with the developers during GamesCom last year, I am pretty hyped for this and glad it is coming to S2. They are developing the FPS and Third-Person modes independently from each other to ensure they both feel great to play and not just a camera change. The Mantles (body armor) are pulling from Native American lore. I have really high hopes for this. The marketing so far has been pants. I urge anyone interested to seek out some interviews from last Summer.

No 64 games, no interested.

Its weird. Most of the games I am hoping to see weren't on this list. I want the RE 2, 3, and 4 remakes, but think closer to Halloween is more likely. Honestly, I want Microsoft to come out with some big titles on the S2. DOOM: TDA is the big one, but howabout some Forza, HALO, Call of Duty, Rare Replay, Sea of Thieves, Gears, and NINJA GAIDEN 4? Oh, and show off some gameplay from Indy. I reckon STARFIELD has also been bandied about. Or Oblivion: Remastered? Finally, give me some more James Bond footage running on the S2, IO!!!

Probably have to pick up two copies for my kids so they aren't fighting over the cartridge!

As the WiiU loomed, this was my last non-used title I bought for the system. A fitting end of the era. The combat system is great and I have been wanting to go back to it over the last few years. It really felt like a progression of what Square proper tried to do with FFXII.

@RumandCohibas
Nice profile pic. RIP Itagaki-san.

Having this on S2 would excellent, if not I will definitely be grabbing the PS5 version. I am thinking any Microsoft announcements will come in the next Nintendo Direct. COME ON DOOM: THE DARK AGES and DIABLO IV!!!!

@johnedwin
I know in the gaming communities I frequent, FF is still popular. I feel like the current want is for updates/remakes of their classics. I would love to see a remake of V in this style. The main issue I see is that the reception for both 15 and 16 was lukewarm. I fell off of 15 and never purchased 16; the demo did not do it for me. If they are working on 17 they need to really provide a grand adventure. Lean into the combat systems introduced in the VII remake games or provide interesting layers to turn-based gameplay.

@johnedwin
I'm just saying sales for on the S2 is not a good metric for measuring the appetite of the FF franchise.

@johnedwin
Or people already own it. I have it on PS4 and I have the Intergrade upgrade on PS5.

$40.00 USD is the absolute sweet spot for this. With sales surely coming in three to six months. This pricing just shows how ludicrous Nintendo has been lately with theirs (DKCR:HD anyone...?).

@westman98
That's weird. I thought the Switch 2's screen supported VRR. So, just the screen does, but not TV output? I don't have it hooked up to one of my 2.1 inputs as I mainly play handheld.

@carlos82
I believe it does support VRR as Metroid Prime 4 runs at 120fps using VRR.

ABOUT FREAKING TIME!!!! I was just playing this on my PS5 a feeks ago wondering why it was still not on Switch.

Just give me an actual design. Or GREEN!!! I would take green! A nice dark emerald or forest green.... Oh, and ones with a dedicated D-Pad would be nice. Come on Hori! Get crackin'!!!

Would love FALLOUT 3 and NEW VEGAS. Never understood why they never came to S1. Stupid CPU-heavy 360 games!

Christmas and the sales hit me good. Recieved MP4: BEYOND (S2) & SPLATOON 3 from family. Picked up ROGUE PoP, SHINOBI: AoV, PWRWSH SIM, and SILVER BULLET during the sale. Will probably also roll some SPLINTERED FATE S2 EDITION as I got the 4K trilogy as well for Christmas and am in a TMNT mood. Finally, to the cat rolling PANDORA'S TOWER on Wii.... I see you.

I just got it for Christmas, so a S2 upgrade with 120 fps would be very welcome.

Got this as a Christmas present from the kids. Holy crap is everything seriously streamlined! While 2 always felt like 1.5 to me, this feels like a proper sequel. I am having a blast so far pinponging between this and MP4: BEYOND. OH, JOY!!!!

If you are making a huge open world game, the I am fine with AI designing trees and texture/art assets for larger areas. Towns, dungeons, characters should all be done by artists. As for AI characters.... A mix of both as well. Story and quest characters should be written and voiced by human artists. Just general background townsfolk? AI could be hilarious for these non-essential characters.

STARFIELD.... Okay, I guess I was hoping to try this at some point (I own a PS5 and a S2). I am super psyched for Indy as I held off getting the PS5 edition. However, the game I really want is DOOM: THE DARK AGES. Come on Bethesda, I know ID and Panic Button can work their magic so I can have all three titles on my S2.

Glad I held off. Didn't see why it wouldn't be coming to S2 (or S1, for that matter).

I remember renting this game when it came out. It blew my mind. It pushed the N64 so hard. I think it's a better game than both BANJO's. Second only to the little Itallian plumber himself.
